Builder, just know that I've been there. Yes, at some stages in EJ's marketing website, there are area's/testimonials that sound a bit spruiky. He's obviously making a living out of selling this stuff and has to compete on some level with the spruikers.
Sure, I won't say that i have had those results, not at all. No matter what plan you follow, there is the human element that makes the mind stray and any trader under pressure makes stupid mistakes. I've made them for sure, but what I can say is that patience has been my friend and my trading account is now healthily in the green (albeit after 3 months in the red), my fault and totally accepting of 'my' mistakes.
I am only here to offer an unbiased opinion on a comparison between what's out there. Sure you can go out and spend hundreds on books and have a crack on your own, with the solitude of looking at a chart in the middle of the night with no one to bounce idea's off or be able to ask questions to.
BTW, this room is unprivitised, you can see everyone's questions, comments, trading idea's and at times jokes.
What I can say is that if you follow EJ's plan, stay disciplined, stay away from the trades that although fit into the rule set, are bad trades and are called as bad trades (all trades get included in EJ's promptly uploaded trading day video blog) then all this for US $59 a month is cheap. You don't need ur own charts, just follow the teacher until you feel ur own charts are needed.

I took 32 ticks out of the market last night and I had a lot of fun doing it.
Don't bag something until you've tried it. Do you even trade futures Builder ?
